ROY WOOD - BLACKBERRY WAY - JOOLS NEW YEAR 2016/17

[@Thorpean]

I've met Roy so many times in Ashbourne, Derbyshire. Just a regular guy. Shops at Sainsburys, goes out for a curry and very down to earth. You couldn't meet a nicer guy that has been right to the top. He lives in a converted pub in the Peak District where he has a custom made recording studio there. Always wears his rose tinted glasses. Really nice person.

[@stephenjones1861]

He’s a Brummie, we’re all down to earth 😊

[@davidmacgregor5193]

The converted pub that Roy lives in is the former Howard's Arms in Cubley. I've met Roy on several occasions in Holmfirth when he's played at the Picturedrome. He really is a genuine down to earth guy and a true gentleman who always has time to talk to his fans.

[@Mspoor70]

Thanks hunners for sharing that. Been a fan since forever. My bro gave me eddy and the Falcons when I was a teen, planning to give him the cd this Xmas. Lol, a story.

[@lucreziia100]

We love Roy

[@KurtI2525]

I can barely imagine how cool that must be!

[@reddevil9554]

He still has all that power and clarity in his voice. A class act.

[@matteg490]

The song is a dark twist on McCartney's Penny Lane.

[@davidwalker8955]

Roy Wood one word Legend !

[@welshieallovertheplace]

If you haven't noticed, Roy is singing it in the same key as he did in 1968.

[@stylepartner5123]

Holy moly

[@brianbrown7618]

Yes! Not many of them can now. Colin Blunstone ( The Zombies) is another, Ian Anderson of Jethro Tull - erm... no :-(

[@carbonnieferrous2689]

So am I but it dont sound as good.

[@chloedevereaux1801]

he wasn't the vocalist with the move... Carl Wayne was the lead singer with the Birmingham group the Move and his voice can be heard on memorable hits from the Sixties including "I Can Hear the Grass Grow", "Flowers in the Rain" and "Blackberry Way"..

[@chloedevereaux1801]

wood was the vocalist in wizzard..

[@lucreziia100]

I love quality of Roy's high pitched voice. There's no one like Roy!

[@eslermanu47]

Roy Wood should be a knight the fantastic songs he has written down the years most underrated

[@mrs.featherbottom5901]

eslermanu47 what are some other of his best in your opinion? I just discovered this song

[@monahageli6874]

Agree!!!

[@monahageli6874]

Agree!!♥️😥✌🏻

[@Swantonbomb.]

🔥❤🔥

[@Cassandra_Rose_82]

I agree. I’ve always loved him he was a musical genius. Love See my baby jive, that song made me fall in love with Roy. 💖🎶💖🎶💖🎶💖🎶

[@bonniechops1]

Brilliant Roy Wood singing in the same key as before in the 60's👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@geoffjoffy]

He sounds like he did 50 years ago!!!!What a performance. The guy is in his mid 70s. Has the lungs of a 20 year old. Amazing voice. Just utterly brilliant. RESPECT!!!!

[@Dina6279]

He was 70 on the 8th of November this year!

[@geoffjoffy]

So he was only 19 on Flowers In the Rain????????????????????

[@Dina6279]

Probably only 18. He was just 15 when he started in music. He went to art school but was expelled in 1964! He then joined The Falcons and went on to co-found The Move. I suppose you can't keep talent like his down, he is naturally gifted. God bless him!

[@reddevil9554]

@@Dina6279 Sounds very similar to Lennon's teens. He was also thrown out of art school and then concentrated more on the music. Both of them became talented songwriters.

[@Uttrediay]

To be honest he sounded much, much better 50 years ago.

[@dt-wq7ql]

I've loved Roy Wood since the 60s ❤

[@paulwood7798]

Should be Sir Roy. The man has wrote some genius songs.

[@andyclayton9204]

written

[@Adneybushdoctor]

Absolutely , Say's it all.

[@TheWelwyn21]

Don't be silly

[@stevelee4952]

Roy Wood = Genius= forgotten=apart from those of us that know just how high he ranks in British music.

[@sandraharding2624]

I just love Roy Wood even with an orchestra behind him. He's still as he was all those years ago. What a brilliant artist who was very underrated 😂😂😂❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@sneezymonkey]

He still has the same voice! Great man!

[@NadavCuky]

Roy looks absolutely fabulous and his voice is perfect! It's amazing that he still got his hair and beard. Great upload!

[@Crisadasme]

exactamente

[@paulkinsella6536]

@@Crisadasme Roy wrote some great songs and I thought The Move were a great band. BlackBerry Way was one of my favourites along with, Tonight, Chinatown, California Man, Curly and My Madge. I bought those records when they came out many years ago. Roy is one of those guys I would like to meet. Keep on rockin'! 👍

[@williefinn4932]

one of the great pop/rock figures in britain since the mid 1960`s......the move created some great and lasting music.

[@milliestern3812]

Willie Finn yeah

[@santhompson6738]

Just love this man, queued all night outside the Odeon in Brum to get tickets to see him in the 70’s, agree should be knighted for his contribution to pop music, keep rocking Roy!!!

[@misterpeppercorn3078]

My, My, My, what a great song! And Roy's vocals - all thumbs up! ❤👍❤👍❤👍

[@jillyb710]

Roy Wood- LEGEND!! Loved this when I was a mere 11 yrs old - this and Fire Brigade -- mwahh!! Love it now - looking good Roy!

[@giuseppe9145]

Brilliant...fantastico voice

[@sopheezmum]

love you Roy. lovely seeing you on tv doing something other than the Xmas song xxx

[@davidbeard90]

From the Move, to Wizard, to solo and onwards. A legend. Give this guy his gong already.

[@davidmacgregor5193]

You didn't mention Electric Light Orchestra, that was Roy's brainchild in 1968, it took him and Jeff Lynne from 1970 until 1972 to get ELO on the road as a working band.

[@jeddward9464]

I was there that night he was really good, met him and all the other acts afterwards very nice chap...

[@JimboUSAF007]

Can't thank you enough for ELO as well !!

[@charleswills4554]

I've heard of Roy Wood only because I'm a big Jeff Lynne and ELO fan , but this song is awesome .I'm going to be looking up some more music with Roy.

[@johngreenstreet9347]

Yup, total respect for Roy Wood, underrated legend.

[@mattbaxter8063]

legendary performance

[@mickden3155]

Roys still got it. Its a great song he must have lived a good life so far

[@PaulLea]

Another great song from Roy, he is a hero of mine for about 50 years now, his voice has lasted very well ...just like his great songs. and he has always looked cool. Rock on ROY !!!.

[@markprice6331]

Great to hear this. His and Carl Wayne's voices were well matched, Roy Wood, a legend!

[@herbert9241]

Exactly. Vocal harmony is a vital quotient of the original studio recording and, while the backing singers here are on fine form, the brass section kind of sh!ts all over them. Still got everyone on their feet and having a good time, though, so can't knock that.

[@boassinfield3]

Nice one Roy. You have always been approachable ever since we supported The Move at the Gliderdrome in circa 1967. Great memories and still great performances.

[@senatorjimdracula1603]

Wow, his voice is still great!!

[@gazgibster]

amazing Roy wood the legend great live

[@john111257]

The man still great after all these years

[@PoolsOfBlueGlass]

Saw Roy and his band on Tuesday in Woking. It was the best show in ages, and we knew every number:))

[@Mike.o.s.b]

I have fond memories of Roy and also of Woking, where I was brought up. Sadly the two never coincided other than by me buying The Move's and Roy's records as soon as they were released.

[@bobstocker3090]

Great performance of an all time classic,well done Roy

[@clausjohansson8233]

He has still that” Voice” brilliant song🎩🥁🎸👌

[@kevinbeck6785]

All these artists with Sir in front of their names and Roy Wood is not among them stinks, brilliant artist Sir Roy

[@sandraharding2624]

He should have been Knighted years ago. He put Birmingham/ Black Country on the musical wall of fame. He's A GENIUS, A LEGEND AWESOME ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@anneawadh4972]

Roy was and still is brilliant Love 💖 him to bits💕💕

[@lzontek]

I was in England for Christmas and New Year and caught Roy's performance on Jules Holland's new year show. He is amazing as ever, and I'm pissed that he's going to be in Brighton in February as I was just there a few weeks ago. I was disappointed Roy didn't get to perform more.

[@ianmelia8851]

the brilliant roy wood still sounds great

[@rogerm4310]

Love this song. Roy Wood is so creative and super listenable

[@davidwaterhouse2552]

Legend! dx

[@fcukdis5338]

Roy wood folks, fuckin legend

[@phillipboag]

great song great performance

[@threeamigos842]

Roy is great. And still a great voice.

[@rebelwithoutapplause5629]

What the f........??? I just came here from the original. This is one of my earliest musical memories. Me playing in the garden with schoolfriends, climbing trees, "borrowing' " my dad's tools from the shed, scrumping apples from neighbours gardens (now reclassified as theft) and ultimately this song playing whilst my mum was doing the washing up. The carefree balmy summers of the 70's. Now, it's just a fight to live, eat and not be called a racist. I'm so grateful and blessed that I lived though the 70's to 90's, If I die now, it was worth it.. ;)

[@cameroncameron2826]

Roy Wood is just incredible beyond words & seemed to be from day 1. Hardly anyone out there can touch him.

[@sopheezmum]

Will be seeing you in Brighton soon.. can't wait !

[@Dina6279]

You are going to have a fantastic time...Roy still rocks the building! I saw him on the 15th of December at Holmfirth and met him after the show. He was fantastic...what a legend and a lovely, lovely man too!

[@bonzodog6872]

I saw him 20 years ago in Brum with an almost all girl brass section they sounded fantastic then and he still sounds fantastic today

[@davidmacgregor5193]

I too saw Roy at the Picturedrome in Holmfirth, I met him in a bar before the gig, we had a chat and he signed one of my cd's. Roy Wood is a real gentleman who always has time for his fans.

[@Bergenslarsen]

Wow! Does he sound great!

[@Paulrm68]

Roy Wood has that special something 🇬🇧👍☺️

[@kerchingcash]

Roy still rocks, great stuff!

[@calmvibes2134]

Remember being on holiday in Scotland watching this, great night and memories with family.

[@toolscarriagesmodellbauand7246]

His voice is just the same. Great to hear. Best wishes from Germany

[@TheGarageJump]

Top man Roy Wood. Genius songwriter and performer.

[@calmvibes2134]

One of the best new year's celebrations I've had, spending it on the lovely Isle of Arran in Scotland with family watching this, great memories, wish I could rewind the clock back for so many reasons.

[@ΗλιακηςΘεοδωρος]

Amazing singer

[@showbizismylife]

Love the James Bond theme motif in the orchestral arrangement.

[@patricksmith1938]

Great Roy. So talented.

[@jima608]

Genius!

[@MarqueeMoon1977]

[@philwearmouth1102]

[@jduff59]

A good shout, amazed how good Roy looks and sounds, what an underappreciated superstar!

[@McSynth]

Wonderful. Just effin bloody wonderful.

[@janeguest9201]

Fabulous, Good Ole Roy. 👍🥰

[@ClichéGuevara-2814]

Love the way he threw in that Harry Nilsson Good Old Desk refrain. Classy touch.

[@plasticsoul9051]

Genius! ❤️❤️

[@martinhassall5039]

I’m an expat living in Canada. I was visiting my sister in Marchington Near Uttoxeter. In walks Roy. He goes to this pub for a good meal. My brother in law says “ alright” Roy says “ yes mate”. Just regular chat.

A full head of hair and can hold a high note...c`mon Roy, whats your secret?

[@HulkmanManhulk]

The Move had Roy Wood, Carl Wayne and Jeff Lynne. Unbelievabke! They should have become the new Beatles.
